Jessa's Big Hair cut!

Jessalyn took a big step and got her hair cut off! Jessa is donating her hair to WIgs4Kids.org
She looks Really different with such short hair. But Still just as beautiful as before. Jessalyn misses her princess hair but knows that she helped a sick kid and that her hair can grow again.

The Adventures of Flat-Maddie in Florida for Jessalyn's Birthday!

Maddie did a project with school Where she drew her outline and created Flat Maddie. She then mailed Flat Maddie to Florida to go on an adventure with her Cousin Jessalyn. Flat-Maddie made it in time to go to Jessalyn's birthday breakfast at Ihop and she got to eat Green Eggs and Ham and Whoo-cakes. :)





















Then she went to Jessalyn's school and met Jessalyn's classmates and She hung out with Jessalyn's flat classmates for awhile.




















Flat Maddie was there for Jessalyn's Birthday Celebration as well. They have a little ceremony the kids do. Jessalyn walks in a circle as they chanted the months of the year. When they came back around to April they said, "Jessalyn is 1. When Jessa turned 1 she... ___ " "When Jessa turned 2 she.______" etc. It was very cute. Jessalyn held a globe to show how the world goes around the sun (a candle) each year.

Hockey Game

Papaw received some free tickets to the last Ice Pilots game of the season. Since he had to be out of town Grandma, Jeffrey, Jessalyn, and Mom got to go. We had alot of fun. Jeffrey got up to dance with the cheerleaders. Jessalyn stood in the aisle and imitated them a bit although she wasn't ready to stand in front of everyone. Jessalyn and Jeffrey both enjoyed the cotton candy and pizza while watching the game. Jessalyn did not like when the guys fought. She thought it was mean! But really it was a super tame evening with only 2 scuffles both in the last period. The Pilots lost 0-4 to the Mississippi Sea Wolves. But it was a fun time anyhow! :)

Amarylis

Isn't this Amarylis Beautiful! The blooms are just soo Pretty and even the harsh rain storm didn't damage them. Love it. So perfect It almost looks fake!

Side? Ow-Side?

Please Please can we go outside some more????

Jack Just LOVES to go outside. He has learned how to open doors and can even undo the deadbolts now. So we are constantly watching out that he doesn't escape. He is too cute. He knows he isn't supposed to be going out but you know.... Nature calls.... LOL

Easter Day!

We had a beautiful Easter. Jeffrey sang with the choir and did a solo of the Song, "Did Jesus Really Live Again?" His sweet voice was wonderful to hear as he sang about the Savior.

Attached are a few pic's of the kids from Sunday.

Eggs Eggs And More Eggs!

We had a great time at the Easter Egg Hunt. There were alot of people and plenty of fun for the kiddies.


They played Bunny Hop musical Chairs. And Regular Musical Chairs, a ring toss,
.
An Egg Relay, (Jeffrey was too fast for the camera!)



And of Course an Easter Egg Hunt!
Jeffrey gathered ALOT of Eggs VERY quickly!




Jessalyn gathered 36 Eggs which she promptly counted in Japanese much to the amazement of several people watching.






Jack was SOOO cute! He really got into gathering the eggs. Dad and I had seen when we pulled in that there were alot of eggs right along the driveway and nearly where you would park. So he took Jack over there to look. He was pointing out an Egg that was near the tire when Jackson dove UNDER the car! We laughed out loud when we realized that he had spied an egg way under there and he belly crawled under to get it! He had a terrific time at his first egg hunt!

Trying to act older....

Jack Jack has decided to act like a two year old just a lil bit early. He has been making some real messes lately. You can't let him out of your sight for a second because he is into something. He likes to take ALL the toilet paper off the roll... Especially if it is a new roll AND he can drag it around the whole bathroom.
Yesterday at nap time when I went in to get him he had taken off his pants, and his diaper and thrown them out of the crib. There he is with yuck everywhere. The second time was not as bad. He took it off in the kitchen. We have been sitting him on the potty and I don't want to discourage him but eeeeeew, Jack!

Ahhh... Remember Jessalyn? The laundry soap, that was a much cleaner mess. I will take that anytime! Silly boy!

Solar System

So Jeffrey had a parent/ child project to do for school and we needed to recreate the solar System. We used Ballo0ns that we blew up to different sizes for the different planets and suspended them from a wire hanger. It was awesome. We hope we got a 100%. We get 30 pts for creativity and Jeffrey said NO one else used balloons!

Destiny Smiles

Jon and Jenny had their lil girl. Isn't she sweet! :)

She was born weighing 9lbs 4oz and 20 1/2'' long.

Silver Beaver Ceremony

Dad received a very special award from the Gulf Coast Boy Scout Council. It is awarded for outstanding volunteer services over the years. Dad was nominated and selected. They had a dinner and a ceremony. It was really neat. We are so proud of him. Congratulations Dad!

Oh and mom got one too because that means she had to be without him all that time. Her Beaver looked more like a rat though. hehehe. .

Hey, What's the world like up there?

Aren't my Blue eyed boys cute?

Wyatt's Arrival

Wyatt has decided to make his entrance into the world! Welcome Baby Wyatt!

Congratulations Josh and Deborah!

Jack and Grampa

Jack and Grampa understand each other. Jack likes to follow grandpa outside or to just cuddle on the couch. Jack still loves toys that make a lot of noise. So here Grandpa is entertaining a very tired Jack Jack with Jeffrey's addition toy.

Horsalyn

So, Jessalyn tells me: I am going to change my name.

Me: Oh? You want to be called Bacon again?

Jessalyn: : NOOOOO!

Me: Peanut Nutter?

Jessalyn: No, a real name.

Me: Like what?

Jessalyn: Hmmmm..... I know, Horsalyn! Cuz I like horses!

Take a picture

Jack is a true Stewart child. He does love to ham it up for the camera. As soon as the camera flashes he is off... We have been trying to snap a pic of Jack cuddled up to Grampa on the couch. But so far he just wants to show off for the camera!

Pinewood Derby!

It's Pinewood Derby Time! Jeffrey's car did very well. He came in 2nd overall. Yea, Jeffrey! It is modeled after the 'Marmon Wasp' that won the Indy 500 in 1911. It was the first car to not have a mechanic ride along. I included a pic for ya'll! :)
They had a race for the lil brothers and sisters too. For those lil siblings that did not have cars. they had a few to choose from. So you see a picture of Jessalyn with "her" car.

Rockin' Jack

Jack Jack Loves to rock. He will sit in the rocker and literally rock across the room because as he gets the chair going it will scoot across the room. And you had better be careful about putting anything down in the chair. He will toss it to the floor if it is in his way when he wants to rock. (The same thing for his chair at the table.)
